I have one of the "chain clamp tools" but I have never used it on our Hondas! I have always used a pry bar against the flywheel. I did use the brake trick when I did my 3.0 in my truck years ago. If you still need to borrow my chain wrench, let me know. Don't forget to do the water pump at the same time.

I was ready to tear into the timing belt and go after the tensioner or the water pump. On my way in I verified each belt driven accessory. It turned out to be the idler pulley that tensions the AC belt!!!

$50 pulley - will be here Tuesday!!! I bet I could source the bearing itself for less, but it is going to be a busy week at work...
